however im going to be honest i think that those systems can also benefit from a down tube and an up tube as well as it would modify them into a thermal mass rocket burner type using only the gas that escapes up over the plate as i see from those vids another injection of super heated air at this point could have flames firing down the tube that would be called third burn technology as i havent seen it done was going to try a build with it doing as quoted

this one is a modified version of an old type in use

has created a downdraft using tubing with the flue pipe as explained on the video

from my reading all the systems are within the 4 1/2 hr burns depending on the wood being used the videos quote they get longer due to the ashes still burning within there systems so clock around 8hr - 12hr depending on wood usage

caotropheus did you ever try a u tube on back of your wood burner ?

on this model you built

i presume that you just used the top for the flue

what im asking is did you create something that would create that burner into a bell effect just by adding some pipe on back of it so it goes down first then up into the chimney stack

i was wondering if the wood burners could be changed enough like my drawing on pallet burner post just by adding a little bit of tubing onto the end of it

well done,,

I agree there is much room for improvement with conventional stoves.

things like a standardised efficiency test would put a lot of bad stoves in their place!!

actually that's an idea, should we come up with a standard test?but that would be another thred

Thanks guys! This gives me some really good ideas on some older stoves that I have. It will be great fun modifying them to become more efficient and add a rocket stove twist to them.
